Requests? Please explain.

Go to the requests button on the main menu. If you don't have an active one, one should pop up within few minutes of playing.

I really didn't see any ads before and then I got a popup that said to download a free sunflower app

You didn't get the Sunflower? It makes your frogs VERY happy!!!

I think ive found a bug in 1.0.1. If you're mailbox is full and you find a prize in the pond, before you were able to place (or use stamps and place) something from your mailbox to make room. The item you had found in the pond then filled that spot.

However, since the update this is not happening. Mailbox is full, I find a prize, choose option to go to mailbox, place an item, but the prize never appears. I'm stuck with 7 mailbox items and no prize.

Is this happening for anyone else?

Pretty sure that's as intended. That's why they specifically tell you your mailbox is full (if it is) when you enter the pond or fill it up with gifts. The 'View Mailbox' option isn't really that useful :).

i get that. I'm saying that previous to the update when I "viewed mailbox" after I found a prize I was able to clear out a spot in my mailbox by placing an item or using stamps to place an item. However, since the update i am taken to my mailbox, place an item, and the found prize disappears. This is different than previously. Thats my point :-)

Anyways, just wondering...Are there any particular frogs to keep? Or do you just keep whichever ones look pretty to you?

Check out rewards and requests. Those are what you aim for. If you catalog a frog then you dont have to keep it unless you want because it "looks pretty." lol

Completetly up to you. You can hold certain breeds for achievements, rarity, color, storage, personal preference, etc...

Can't wait for the update. Can't wait to start over from scratch with the frogedex. :)

Don't bother buying them as you'll probably pick up some of them hunting flies.

I picked up a Frog Prince book cover habitat. Pretty sweet. Don't want to know what took a bit out of the cover though.

Frogs - Anuras are always great; otherwise one of each type/breed/colour.

thanks eeen. However, I'm 99.9% positive thats what used to happen for me. I'm also talking on the phone to a friend right now using 1.0.0 and even when their mailbox is full, if they find a prize, they can view mailbox, place an item, and the prize appears.

Perhaps I'm not being clear. Its the popup that appears when you find an item in the pond when your mailbox is full. I'm not physically leaving the pond then placing an item and just expecting the prize to appear. Its when I choose "view mailbox" or "go to mailbox" (whatever it is) when i find the prize.

I'm not trying to be a bother, but this IS what happened...

Once you get to level 12 or so you can find all those 9,999 items and habitats for free in the pond ;)

Some people have been trying to catalog one frog of each colour, so they have easy access to any colour when they want it. Personally I don't think it was designed as a factory line, I tend to just treat it as a "50 favourite frogs" list.

Irogs still have a fairly reasonable time to hatch (usually within a couple of hours),
-Mic

Try closer to 9 hours to even hatch. Basically a full day where you can't do anything with the nursery. I'm not complaining, I just think it would significantly add to the game at higher levels to have the option of spending 2-3 potions to get frogs out of the nursery (where I wouldn't even think about spending 12+ potions on a single frog). I also think that it would mean more people using/buying potions.

And there's nothing that would make it mandatory to use.

I'd be interested to hear what the guys at NimbleBit think.

I too would be interested to hear NimbleBit's take on the idea.

However, surely you can just manage your nursery so that it isn't always full of high level frogs ?

The way I manage it is to be working towards at least two achievements and a request at any one time. I have also chosen not to work through the achievements in the order they are listed, but instead work against a low level one and a high level one at the same time. This way there are only ever three or four high level eggs in the nursery waiting to hatch and the others are quick hatchers that are used for the lower level achievement or request.

And if there is no current request, I take a low level frog out to the pond and try and find any colors or patterns I'm missing for my catalog etc.

I'm currently at level 9 and have found this method to be very successful and I've always something to do, at no point am I just sat around waiting for a nursery full of level 9 frogs to hatch.

That's why I'm against your suggestion, because you are asking the developers to change the game to fit the way you want to play, rather than changing the way you play to accomodate the game mechanics.

Thank you Captain Obvious! Of course if I can't click on a lily I have to find a path around it! You can't do bigger jumps on the phone. Perhaps on the iPad because of the bigger space you may get to see more lilys, but on the phone you get lilys in every corner, center left/right and center top/bottom - always giving you 9 lily pads on the screen (more or less). I am not asking them to change the game in any significant way. The frog pretty much stays in the center except when leaping and do you notice how the pond/lilys move towards the frog and then the whole thing centers itself? Well all I am asking is that when everything below the frog is moving (as the frog leaps) to keep it moving a little extra. Especially if we can see a lily pad in a corner or on the edge allow us to click on it. It doesn't really call for any drastic changes in the game. If a lily pad is visible (however small) allow that if we click as close as we can to it - the frog leaps to it. So this is simply a matter of changing the game variables that clicking close to a pad rather than directly on it also makes the frog leap to said pad. Sometimes you might get 3 dragonflies near it - by the time you go around they are gone. Had you been able to leap to it, you could have eaten all 3 in one go. Plus sometimes I just like to jump in a straight line. Its really not asking for much. If a lily pad is visible - allow us to click it (or near it) and be able to jump to it.


I don't think micpringle meant jumping off screen when he said "bigger jumps", just that you can jump from one end of your screen (whatever device) to the other and not have to land on each pad in between. This is great when you need the extra speed to catch a fly before it leaves the screen.

Personally I like the fact that you can 'almost' keep tapping the top or side of the screen to hop fast is straight lines, (not including the dreaded X corner of course), but it just stops short of making it too easy.

And if there is no current request, I take a low level frog out to the pond and try and find any colors or patterns I'm missing for my catalog etc.

It's better to take out a high level frog, assuming the patterns you still need are higher level. If you breed a low level frog with a high level frog found in the pond, you have to pay far more than the low level is worth, and run the risk of creating another low level baby frog and losing your money.

Do it with two high levels and you'll pretty much always make up the cost no matter which frog pops out of the bubble.

Oops!... I can't believe I forgot about that.

I'm in support of dropping the frog 'preview' when you go to the pond, I do prefer to be surprised with new breeds. I hope the patterns are too vague for new players to make out.

I suppose I'd best not post a pic of my 'Little Fluffy Clouds' either (Azure Albeo Africanus).

Giving the name should be O.K. People can make one if they can't work out what they look like.

So, just throwing this out there, what do we all think of another pond or two? If there was kind of a map of the world, and different ponds (to be accessed once you reach higher levels) that held different rarities of frogs?

I think this would add to the awesomeness of the game!

I imagine something like 3 different ponds, and maybe little "rest houses" or "habitat" houses between them (along paths). In the little shacks, we could have our habitats! Furthermore, each habitat "house" would have a limited number of applicable "skins/backgrounds" that would be able to be used, as well as different items (plants, rocks, whathaveyou)! This would add a little order to the chaos making the stores seem more useful? Also, there would be a different but smaller store for each of the houses, and each could feature a certain rare color combo/pattern combo in their specific store?

This, of course, would be in addition to the main frog house and retention pond that all users start out in!

Maybe I'm just dreaming, but this seems to be a great way to add onto the already amazing game!

Let me know what you think!

I figured at the very least a sunset-themed pond would be nice. Similar to how you've got the moon reflection in the middle, have the sunlight located at the top of the screen with a yellow-to-orange gradient coming down the screen. Add some ripple effects and bam!

It be cool if the time of day just changed on occasion, maybe change up how the flies look. I understand frogs are nocturnal, but a sunny day pond jumping would be cool.

Also, I mentioned this earlier in this thread, but I don't know if a dev ever saw it. My game gets really stutter filled as of late. It used to be just the pond, but now it's also going into a habitat, prompt messages popping up, basically everything. Power cycling only makes it go away for a few minutes before it gets laggy again. And again, only happening in Pocket Frogs. I'm using an iphone 4 with the most recent updates.

I'm loving this game! As a genetecist myself, it's intriguing and tricky to reach the goal of the 'request' and 'collection' frogs as well as just randomly breeding to get new and different species and sub -species. ;)

My only suggestion has nothing to do with breeding at all. Before I realized when you put a new background on your habitat you lost the ones before, I lost the 'jean' habitat that I really loved, and can't get it back. :(

Could there maybe be a warehouse of these types of items instead of losing them? Or I see in the review screen, it says 8 frogs, 4 habitats. Can we have the ability to 'swipe' left right to get back to those previously lost backgrounds?

Check the supply shop for the Denim Habitat (I'm guessing this is the one). Or, hop around in the pond to see if you run across a present that has this habitat. It isn't apparent when changing the habitat that the "old" one disappears.

If you’re already brainstorming ideas about the pond, what about adding some pond “statistics,” and/or more achievements that are pond-related? There are two already: Gifted and Treasure Hunter, but what about achievements for eating flies? That’s a big part of the game for me because I’m not much into using the potions for frog growth; I’d rather hop around the pond. And, this might get people who are asking “what do I do in this game” a little more incentive to stick with it while learning the main breeding-for-achievements component.

Here are some of the statistics and/or achievements that I’ve pondered:

--Longest time spent in the pond. Statistic for overall time, and achievements for single pond trips. Pond Lover – Spend five consecutive minutes in the pond; Pond Camper – Spend twenty consecutive minutes in the pond.
--Most consecutive jumps while also eating a fly. Statistic and achievements. Acrobatic Jumper – Make 75 consecutive jumps while eating at least one fly during the jump; <Insert creative title here>: Make 200 consecutive jumps while eating at least one fly during the jump. (Unrealistic??? Maybe.)
--Ratio for flies eaten per jump: statistic. I’m guessing this would be well under 1.0 for the vast majority of people. In fact, I would be very, very, very surprised if anyone has held a >1.0 ratio for this. I’m thinking mine *might* be 0.25, if I had to take a stab in the dark.
--Most flies eaten in one jump: achievement. Gourmet – Eat three flies in one jump; Gourmand – Eat four flies in one jump; Glutton – Eat five flies in one jump. This last one might be a stretch, I think. I’ve eaten three in one jump many times, and I think I got four in one jump once, but five would need a lot of luck, in my opinion.
--Most flies eaten in one pond trip: statistic. I know the leaderboards already keep track of total flies eaten, therefore, this would be a local device statistic.
--Most presents received in one pond trip: statistic. Again, this is already in the leaderboards, so another local device statistic.
--Most coins/potions/stamps received in one pond trip: statistic(s).

I’m sure these aren’t earth-shattering, unique ideas, and maybe they’re already being talked about, or maybe they're difficult to implement, yet I simply wanted to share and let you know that it would add even more enjoyment for me to this brilliant game. As I already mentioned, it might give those wondering exactly what the game is about something to do while figuring out the whole of the game. Plus, and why I would like to see these added, it would give me something more to accomplish while waiting for the eggs to hatch. :)

In fact, one of the cool things is that the White Picea Zebrae and the White Albeo Calyx are identical*. I was planning to post a screenshot of the breeding screen for those two, querying how two identical frogs could produce such a range of offspring. (hey, you don't think it could be... genetics?)

*more generally, the x Picea Zebrae and the x x Calyx are identical, for given x.

If you want to get fussy about it, they are slightly different since Picea shows up against White, so it can't be exactly the same shade ;)

The way I manage it is to be working towards at least two achievements and a request at any one time. I have also chosen not to work through the achievements in the order they are listed, but instead work against a low level one and a high level one at the same time. This way there are only ever three or four high level eggs in the nursery waiting to hatch and the others are quick hatchers that are used for the lower level achievement or request.

-Mic

That's actually a very good suggestion. Adds something extra and allows us to keep playing.

I don't think micpringle meant jumping off screen when he said "bigger jumps", just that you can jump from one end of your screen (whatever device) to the other and not have to land on each pad in between. This is great when you need the extra speed to catch a fly before it leaves the screen.

How exactly are you achieving this? When the frog is on a lily pad - it is always in the center of the screen, so it cannot jump from any corner or any edge because it is always in the center! So it can only jump to any adjacent lily pad as any other pad is off screen and therefore you can't click it to let the frog jump to it. So I don't know how you guys are jumping from one lily pad, avoiding the one directly in front and landing on the pad after it.

It happens when you jump to one corner then jump back in the opposite direction before the screen moves to centralise your frog. This is when your jump can reach from corner to corner missing out a pad if they are close enough together.

Just want to add my 2 cents finally. I have been trying to reach the end of the posts before adding mine, but thats kinda hard to do when I keep playing PF. Reading a few posts then go see what hatched, repeat. I Really like the game and have put some serious time into it so far with no end in sight. I really appreciate that you guys are posting so much on here and making such rapid changes to the game per the forum suggestions. Thats the kind of love that will assure a great game, and can only be rivaled by my love for my frogs (pets frogs).
So thank you guys at flexiblepieces, or whatever the company name was :P
Now the suggestions trying not to repeat good ones already said by others since most ideas people post with are good.

1)The idea earlier about snails and such would be really great. Could be so many ideas in there like actually making breedable snails with different shells and colors. Any sort of moving scenery would be awesome. Special rare insects zooming the pond can be jumped on and collected. That would help spice up the pond.

2)Spice up the pond. How about a black hole lilypad , rare to find but leads you to some cool bonus pond that is full of treasures with a short timer so you have to hop like mad to collect goodies. Or maybe slot frogs, if you jump on 3 in a row with a 7 or bell on their back you get to spin the slot machine of frogs, first wheel is base color, second wheel other color, third wheel species.

3)Events! I play a few mmorpg and what can always pull me back in if the game gets a little tired is a good ol event. Frog design contest to get your very own unique frog species implemented in game. Special event flies that if you eat enough of during a week you get special prizes. Some great prizes for events would be limited breeding new frog species so they would either be really hard to reproduce or only found through events or trading people. That would work wonders if some sort of auction would be added. Special colors like glittering or neon glow.

Ok thats probably too many good ideas already. I can see this game getting bigger and bigger the more things youre able to do in it in the future. (whispers) Pocketurtles.

i would love for the game to have secret achievements...something like:

Dragon fly slayer (eat 100 dragon flies in a single trip)
dragon fly exterminator (eat 1000 dragon flies in a single trip)
greedy b*st*rd (collect 1000 or more coins in a single trip)
idle legs (stay stationary for 2 minutes in the pond)

what do you think? :d

If you’re already brainstorming ideas about the pond, what about adding some pond “statistics,” and/or more achievements that are pond-related? There are two already: Gifted and Treasure Hunter, but what about achievements for eating flies? That’s a big part of the game for me because I’m not much into using the potions for frog growth; I’d rather hop around the pond. And, this might get people who are asking “what do I do in this game” a little more incentive to stick with it while learning the main breeding-for-achievements component.

Here are some of the statistics and/or achievements that I’ve pondered:

--Longest time spent in the pond. Statistic for overall time, and achievements for single pond trips. Pond Lover – Spend five consecutive minutes in the pond; Pond Camper – Spend twenty consecutive minutes in the pond.
--Most consecutive jumps while also eating a fly. Statistic and achievements. Acrobatic Jumper – Make 75 consecutive jumps while eating at least one fly during the jump; <Insert creative title here>: Make 200 consecutive jumps while eating at least one fly during the jump. (Unrealistic??? Maybe.)
--Ratio for flies eaten per jump: statistic. I’m guessing this would be well under 1.0 for the vast majority of people. In fact, I would be very, very, very surprised if anyone has held a >1.0 ratio for this. I’m thinking mine *might* be 0.25, if I had to take a stab in the dark.
--Most flies eaten in one jump: achievement. Gourmet – Eat three flies in one jump; Gourmand – Eat four flies in one jump; Glutton – Eat five flies in one jump. This last one might be a stretch, I think. I’ve eaten three in one jump many times, and I think I got four in one jump once, but five would need a lot of luck, in my opinion.
--Most flies eaten in one pond trip: statistic. I know the leaderboards already keep track of total flies eaten, therefore, this would be a local device statistic.
--Most presents received in one pond trip: statistic. Again, this is already in the leaderboards, so another local device statistic.
--Most coins/potions/stamps received in one pond trip: statistic(s).

I’m sure these aren’t earth-shattering, unique ideas, and maybe they’re already being talked about, or maybe they're difficult to implement, yet I simply wanted to share and let you know that it would add even more enjoyment for me to this brilliant game. As I already mentioned, it might give those wondering exactly what the game is about something to do while figuring out the whole of the game. Plus, and why I would like to see these added, it would give me something more to accomplish while waiting for the eggs to hatch. :)

Just wanted to bump this to make sure the Nimblebit guys see it. I love all of these suggestions...

How exactly are you achieving this? When the frog is on a lily pad - it is always in the center of the screen, so it cannot jump from any corner or any edge because it is always in the center! So it can only jump to any adjacent lily pad as any other pad is off screen and therefore you can't click it to let the frog jump to it. So I don't know how you guys are jumping from one lily pad, avoiding the one directly in front and landing on the pad after it.

You don't have wait for the current jump to complete before tapping the next lily - so to achieve a larger jump just tap any of the lily's that are just moving into view, even those where you can only see their shadow.

While I am not saying there couldn't be some cool new features implemented into the game, but a black hole lillypad? A slot machine mechanic? Cmon guys. You have to admit those sound greedy (prizes prizes prizes!!!!!!) and pretty ridiculous.

A frogedex is one thing. It makes sense it adds to the game without changing the core gameplay and was a highly requested feature. Let's just hope for new frogs, items, etc.


And to the people going back and forth about the jumping over a lillypad. It can be done. Situation has to be right, but it's possible. However, who cares? It does nothing of value so it doesn't matter either way.

Youre joking right? The whole point of jumping around the pond is for a prize, if there are no good prizes people would just shut off their iDevice and wait for them to grow up. It was simply an IDEA of new ways to spice it up, I am starting to get bored of the same thing in the pond so maybe ill stop raising frogs and just shut it off and wait instead, youre right don't add more cool features, just let people get tired of it.

Like tiltmytouch said, let the devs focus on the necessary things instead of everyone shouting crazy things all over the thread. I dont think the game needs anything else at all once the froddex arrives. It takes nimblebit days upon days to just implement simple things to the game, so expecting them to add all this other junk is a bit ridiculous.

I'm pretty sure the votes for playing offline would outnumber the votes for stopping cheaters. For most people it's just about their own personal collection, I don't think many players are actually competing with each other.

If you're moaning about cheaters but aren't actually trying to place on the boards, you should think about getting your priorities straight.

Froggydex only updates frogs when you open the particular habitat they're in.

Here's my two cents: I do not feel compelled to spend $29.99 on potions. And no, it's not because it's exorbitant (I think you guys deserve some compensation), it's because you don't really need that many potions late in the game. Early on, purchasing potions was a means to making $$$, but once you hit the higher levels (assuming one has purchased all the habitats), the $9,999 for a piece of scenery isn't that much, and collecting $100,000 for 2000 xp doesn't exactly seem worth it. The only real incentive I can think of for collecting coins is to cover the breeding expenses. Because you gain the experience from breeding a frog before the frog even hatches, why not just sell them if it's xp that you're after?

Therefore, I don't think it would be a bad idea to create some expensive items or something along those lines. Maybe a lottery system for frogs that one wouldn't normally be able to find in the pond?

P.S. - This game rocks!

I never needed potions or stamps early on, in fact I just ignored them completely... didn't use a single one, then found myself around level 9 with over 50 of each.

Ravachec
09-25-2010, 04:37 PM
Yeah, the xp reward for the achievements are completely out of line when I can get way more than 2000xp each time I breed.

Think of it this way. That $100,000 translates to 100,000xp if I use all of it for breeding.

Which is why I think it might be in their interest to give you a reason to purchase stamps and potions (without making it a necessity). I know they're unnecessary ultimately, but I'm sure there are some people out there who'd like to feverishly rise to the top by purchasing stamps and potions - i.e. people that might consider themselves "hardcore gamers" or something along those lines.

I apologize if you think Im making personal jabs to you (Im not the one calling you a dumb ass:rolleyes:). I dont think you are getting the point.

I'm really liking the Frogedex but I'm wondering if there's a particular reason it goes pattern->color->pattern color? It seems like it'd make more sense for it to go color->pattern color->pattern, or maybe allow the user to choose the order.

No, but when they were talking about the update they submitted they said the new pattern colour would be a mutation, so I assume you get it in a similar way to glass frogs. :confused:

Not that I'm out of achievements to hunt for yet, but we should come up with our own custom ones. Here's my first one for you all...

--------
Heroes in a Half Shell!
Breed an Olive Caelus Cesti, Olive Viola Cesti, Olive Tingo Cesti and Olive Carota Cesti.

First one to post a screenshot of that gets...all the love and affection of the 80s child within me =P

Just checked the Froggydex out. Awesome!! And new pattern color.

Froggydex only updates frogs when you open the particular habitat they're in.

Edit: It also updates unknown frogs eggs that haven't hatched.

Thanks for the Froggydex. Is there any way of not updating it until the frogs are actually hatched? Not that I would "cheat" but it does allow you to check whether you've got the combo you want in the eggs prior to hatching if you haven't bred that combo before.

I dont think name calling helps your credibility. You are ranting like crazy here. Unlike you, Im not taking this personally. I apologize if you think Im making personal jabs to you (Im not the one calling you a dumb ass:rolleyes:). I dont think you are getting the point. Im saying collectively, people are proposing radical ideas. You just happen to have provided some of the craziest. If nimblebit wants to consider your ideas and implement them, so be it. But I am totally against any changes to the application. I would not enjoy any more "game-like" features in pocket frogs. It would completely ruin the premise.

So please, do yourself a favor and act civilized by not name calling and such.

You cant sweet talk now and pretend your intentions were all pleasant, you acted like an elitist and an ass to me and I called you on it. You act like an ass I call you one. Dont want to be called as ass, don't act like one, easy enough huh. Crazy or not they were ideas I wanted to share and obviously Im deserving of slander from you because you dont like them. I should feel ashamed of myself for trying to share ideas. You forget that even as simple as this game is people are playing it in totally different ways already, so would you even need to agree with changes to have them there for anyone
else? How dare there be options added to the game that YOU dont like. I hope NB keeps the game just for you! Cuz youre this forums God! You are so cool! You make the world keep spinning!

Digital Messiah

Agreed. And no offense DM, your ideas were pretty out there. They're good ideas, just not for this game. And with over 1,000,000 downloads, I think people are quite happy with what there is to offer.

The problem is, this isn't really a game per se. There's no clear objective, other than raising, breeding and selling frogs, and getting all the different types. If anything it reminds me of the old Creatures games from the '90s.

To add any of the elements you mentioned WOULD change it. Fortunately, the nimblebit guys know exactly what they want their game to be, and don't appear to want to change that.

I gave my opinion because I, like many others, will probably grow tired of the same thing over and over and my suggestions were just in the light of keeping it interesting in the future. The people who posted they didnt like it already quoted it as pointless. If you open the game up a little then they might not think that and then 1 million d/l becomes 1.5 million. I do enjoy the game as it is very much, but anything great can be made greater. I never said my ideas would or should be implemented to save the game. Why can't someone offer suggestions without the elitists feeling the need to mouth off.

I will admit, maybe I was a little harsh at first, but I have calmed down while you clearly have failed to do so.

This is the last time I am going to respond to you because I have made my point clear and all you seem to be doing is calling me an ass to make your points. I'm not denouncing you or anybody else for sharing ideas. I'm just saying, try to stay more on track regarding the type of game rather than blab out random ideas. Don't expect the devs to listen to or implement those crazy proposals. I beg nimble bit not to.

Yes. I have noticed it too. Nimblebit has the percentages wrong in the froddex. They are 1 tenth of a place too big. Instead of .27% (1 of 368) it should be .027%.

This needs to be fixed asap. I can't believe they missed this.

Is it just me or does the Froggydex feel a little rushed?

Although I really appreciate the guys at NimbleBit delivering it so soon after it was requested, and no doubt the functionality is there, it just seems as though the design doesn't fit in or match the design style of the rest of the game, including how the new icon has just been shoe-horned into the menu screen.

Since the rest of the game is so polished I must admit I'm more than a little disappointed.

What I mean about the design is the garish silver table rows - the catalog, pro mart, supply shop, frog shop, mail box and awards all have beautifully crafted table rows that all follow a similar design yet the Froggydex deviates entirely from this to something that looks awful and doesn't feel as though it fits in with the rest of the game.

I have a couple feature suggestions I'd like to see.

1) I'd like to see a "settings" button in the main menu. In particular a setting to adjust the game volume (so I can have it open on my speaker dock as a visualization for when I'm listening to music without hearing the jumping and ambient sounds.) Also a check box that would prevent it from going to sleep (if that's needed.)

2) I'm not sure if this is a feature or a bug. But when I place decorations, they don't always stay put. Often rotating on their own, or jumping up layers when I'm on a different screen. I'd like to see this fixed or an option to turn it off.

3) I'd like to see empty plant pots as decorations. So I can layer a plant on top of it without it looking like it's growing out of solid materials (like plaster, for example.)

This game has to be the biggest time sink I have and I love it :D

I have a couple of suggestions which might have already been made but I haven't read all 130+ pages of the thread. If they have already come up, sorry for the repeats.

1. I would love to be able to store unused backrounds. I hate that the backrounds are lost if replaced. Maybe something similiar to the way the catalog works or even something similiar to the froggydex except we could retreive them from the index if they had been found previously. This would also make it fun to try and find all of them.

2. The ability to add a second nursery. Either by an in-app purchase or rezoning a second habitat.


Keep up the great work Nimblebit, both me and my wife are totally addicted to this game and look forward to see what you do next.

2. The ability to add a second nursery. Either by an in-app purchase or rezoning a second habitat.

I would love that! When some of the eggs take a long time to hatch and your nursery is full you end up slowing down on playing the game and twiddling your thumbs a bit.

I would like to be able to choose how many potions I use too. Instead of growing a frog completely it would be nice to be able to use just enough potions to get it out of the egg stage, then you can take it to the pond and play with it. I would probably end up using more potions if that were the case, because as it stands now I save them for emergancies only.

Pretty constant crashing on iPhone 4 here too with the 1.0.2 update. Glad to hear that it is being worked on and that another update will be out shortly.

Not sure if it was intended, but loving the fact that the Froggydex is updated as soon as an egg is created, not when it hatches. Will save tonnes of time when trying to breed a specific frog as you can simply check the Froggydex to see if the correct combo came up. If not, sell the egg and breed again.

For anyone that is interested, I have been screenshotting each Award as I have completed it and am constantly changing the backgrounds so you can see what is out there. 67% completed at the moment - take a look at http://pfrogs.posterous.com/

Suggestions after the 1.0.2 update:

1. Froggydex to include frogs that that are in the catalog.

2. When landing on a lily and we want to accept the prize (but cannot since we already have 8 items in the mailbox) allow us when clicking the "View mailbox" button to then delete something from the inbox and then the item we just landed on gets automatically put into that free slot. Currently we can only delete stuff that has completed so please add a feature to delete stuff that are still taking time to be delivered.

3. Froggydex - when sliding through to each type and then colour - allow us to simply swipe back to get to the previous menu rather than pressing the red X in the corner to move back. Then once we get to the main menu - the green menu button can appear. So no button until we get to the main menu.

4. Organise the Froggydex main menu in alphabetical order. Right now it just seems to be a bit of a mess as it is in the order of when those breeds were added. But once added they could be automatically rearranged in alphabetical order so its easier to find.

Anyways just want to thank you guys for a seriously addictive game and for pushing out the updates so quickly. I've got a 12 hour flight on Monday and was hoping for 1.0.2 before I flew, looks like I won't be sleeping on the plane! - which makes me have to thank you additionally for allowing the game to play offline!

Heya, I just picked up Pocket Frogs yesterday and I'm officially obsessed. Earlier this morning I was looking for stuff and found this thread and about the wiki for chromas. Thanks! It works and now I've bred some Glass Chroma Punctis:
http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/1294/photoxhp.png

I have some other chromas that aren't glasses I don't want to waste by selling though, so is there anyone who wants to adopt them? I'm giving away some of the punctis too since I don't have enough space :( you'll get them by around this time tomorrow and after that I'm selling the leftovers. My Plus+ name's Firesong 31 ;)

So many of the suggestions are based on making the game easier (2nd nursery, bigger catalog, etc etc). I think its too easy all ready! It's supposed to take time, and there is supposed to be some motivation to make IAP of stamps and potions. In terms of freemium games I think it is pretty much the easiest already. I've gotten to level 12 in like 7 days, with no IAP...

I suggest that you stop being able to see what kind of eggs are laid (the time to hatch, value and level). Then you can't selectively destroy your eggs. The main excitement to the game is seeing what hatches after waiting sometimes 24 hours...

Why doesn't the froggydex scrape your already previously awarded achievements list to know which frogs you've previously had?

I have to get every frog award again to include them in my froggydex when the game already knows I had them before?

Good point! That and the catalog should be included towards the Froggydex, since it can only house frogs that we have bred and cataloged - so have therefore created.

I sift through this forum every once in a while and I've found a lot of ideas that I'd like to give a big +1 to, and I've also had some of my own...

Please consider these, Nimblebit!



- Let froggydex automatically incorporate frogs from completed achievements and catalog

- More ponds (even if only for a change of scenery...)

- I like the idea of ponds changing dynamically with the time of day, or even pulling info from the Weather app (rainy pond when it's rainy in your city, etc.)

- Music! I quite like the catchy little banjo tune from Dizzypad.

- Let users send out requests which are sent to random players to be filled for reward, which you can accept or reject

- Add more achievements!

- More frog animations! Just something to add a little more personality. All they do now is jump and blink. Have you ever seen a frog wipe it's eyes? Things like that might go a long way to make me actually want to watch my froggies instead of just making them do it over and over.

- Add more patterns!

- Some kind of pattern editor (maybe on the Nimblebit site if not directly in the app) for creating new designs to share with friends. There could be a new pattern called "Vacuus" (latin for empty) which you can then add your design to. Player designs should be just for fun and not affect normal gameplay (for example, your patterns won't be in the froggydex or anything...) Just spitballin' here!



To sum up, nothing that makes the game EASIER please! Anything that makes the game more social, interactive, fun to look at and play, customizable, and makes you want to come back for more. Thanks again for the great game, and I can't wait to see what else you guys add!

I think that would be really fun.

But so it doesn't make the other skins useless you could make the ability to do so a hard to achieve award.

Also I would dearly love some way to message our neighbours.

It would be great if they implemented regular requests/missions with better rewardslike frogs. And if frogmart will be a little more vast, and have neighbor frogs, like if you get idk, 20 neighbors, youcan buynew frog types. It will be awsome that you can create yourown requests and give rewards to your neighbors, for example i request a black tingo cesti and i am willing tp give 10 potions to the neighbor that sends it to me. Or just frog trading. Idk, have a more neighbor friendly interface.. =D.

To Nimblebit (if they read this stuff):

Excellent game, really, it quenches my addiction to Pokemon, and its FREE!!!! I love everything about it. Thank you so much Nimblebit for this game, I'm spreading the word as far as I can.

I have a couple suggestion, I don't know if it goes in this thread I'll just post them here, and sorry if they have been posted already but I didn't read all the pages in this thread:

1. More stats for the frogs!!! God I would love to see that, like weight, height, age, date of birth, parents, how many times been breeded, a name I can give my fav frogs, etc. Maybe even a health condition (cripple, fat, "tinysm") that results from bad or rare genotype mutation.

2. Maybe something like "frogonality" (personality): They are born with it and it is totally random and permanent, and will affect the frog like: Curious (jumps around a lot), quiet (almost move), lazy (just sleeps), friendly (gets near other frogs), lonely (avoids other frogs), standoffish (sometimes refuses to breed), cheerful (gets happy quicker), gloomy (difficult to make it happy), etc, even an "rare" personality that makes that frog unique and special. Personality will make each frog unique even among the same species.

3. In the pond, if I try to breed a type of frog I found and the Nursery is full, maybe give me the option to "admin" the Nursery (moving frogs to other habitats) and allowing the breeding, rather than just the warning and the frog disappearing. The same for the gifts if the Mailbox is full.

4. More minigames, not just the pond.

Those are all. Sorry if those suggestion bother you in any way and I know you developers already gave us too much for free, but I would love to see those in the game, specially stats for the frogs, with a game like that I wouldn't need anything else on my iphone :).

Thank you again, lets make this the top app in the App Store for ages.

micpringle
09-27-2010, 09:59 AM
Something that I think would add to the game would be the concept of illness and disease and how to manage it.

These could be picked up whilst out in the pond, made obvious by slightly off coloured flies (the challenge would then be to determine which are safe and which aren't before you eat them or they get away) and then it would affect that frog in numerous different ways.

I wouldn't be looking for the frogs to die or anything that severe, but they could be ill for a set period of time which could affect things like not being able to breed, orientation being off when jumping (which would make the pond a lot more challenging) etc etc.

You could then choose to cure your frog by using coins to pay for veterinary services, or just sit it out and wait until the frog gets better on its own, the length of which would be determined by the illness/disease.

-Mic

gregsci
09-27-2010, 10:20 AM
Excellent idea, I know maybe the developers don't want to create a "Tamagotchi" like game where you need to feed and clean the frogs (I wouldn't like that... really), but adding personalities and health conditions to frogs (nothing to far, maybe stats like: Healthy, Normal, Ill) will give much more value to this already awesome app.
